Yan Yueyue took a sip of the water cup, and looked very satisfied with the surroundings, there are not many people who can have this house in this era, most of them live in the outer corridor of the factory.
"Thank you, Officer Tong! This house is much better than I imagined, I don't know if the rent is expensive? ”
Tong Jianhua scratched his head a little shyly,
"That Comrade Yan Yueyue, now that is not in the police station, don't keep calling me Officer Tong, I'm a few years younger than you, just call me Jianhua."
"Well, okay, Jianhua. You don't want to be called comrade comrade, you can call me Yueyue or Sister Yueyue like Brother Dongzi. Yan Yueyue generously called him by his name.
Ma Xiaodong watched the two of them talking to each other, and a strange feeling surged in his heart, he always felt that Yueyue was only what he could call, and now Yan Yueyue was really awkward to let others call her that.
"Okay, Sister Yueyue, my rent is ten yuan a month, you gave this month that day, you will pay it when you have money next time, I'm not in a hurry!"
"What? Ten pieces? ”
Yan Yueyue looked at him with wide eyes, "It's so cheap, I think about how to get fifteen or twenty." ”
Although she doesn't live in the city, she looked around the bulletin board at the entrance of the vegetable market that day, and Yan Yueyue probably knew a little, not to mention that the house was clean and refreshing unexpectedly.
“…… Anyway, my parents are out of town, and I can't live in two places by myself, so it's a pity that it's empty, so you can help me clean up! ”
No wonder!
Yan Yueyue sighed in her heart, there must have been many houses in the family in the eighties, which must be either rich or expensive.
“…… Well, that's fine, thank you! ”
Yan Yueyue felt that she would be in the city for a long time in the future anyway, and it would definitely be better if she had a fixed foothold, so she would live in it now, and she would take the initiative to increase the rent for him in the future.
Ma Xiaodong helped Yan Yueyue put away the little luggage, and followed Tong Jianhua out of the door.
went out, Tong Jianhua took the two of them out to the night market street on the side.
"Let's go, now I'm fine after work, I'll show you around the neighborhood."
In the 80s, the night market street was not very popular, but simple stalls were also lined with a construction road, red, green and green incandescent lights flashing with colorful lights, and all kinds of small stalls were crowded with people, eating and drinking.
Yan Yueyue had a strange feeling in her heart, she always felt that this construction road would definitely become the most lively street in Donghong City in the future, and hurriedly asked,
"Jianhua, are there so many people on this construction road on weekdays?"
Tong Jianhua nodded,
"Yes, Sister Yueyue, there are many schools and accommodation areas here, and everyone likes to go out for a stroll at night, but to be honest, your potato chips are not sold."
"Brother Jianhua, you and my sister want to go together! Hahaha...... "Yan Yueyue patted Tong Jianhua's shoulder and laughed happily.
Tong Jianhua lowered his head a little shyly and smiled.
Ma Xiaodong saw that the two of them had a tacit understanding and laughed, his eyes rolled, and his face was slightly pale.
"Ahem, we haven't eaten yet, are you going to eat something?"
"Yes, yes, Brother Dongzi has been doing me a good day, I should treat you to a good meal!" Yan Yueyue jumped to Ma Xiaodong's side at once,
"Brother Dongzi, what do you want to eat, just ask, I'll pay!"
"Pay? What does it mean? Ma Xiaodong turned his head to look at her.
"Ah, that's what it means to give money, let's go, let's go!"
A few steps forward, Yan Yueyue saw a stall, a few large pots of stir-fried vegetables, boiled rice balls, barbecue, and even skewers.
"Brother Dongzi, Brother Jianhua, how about we eat here?"
Both of them nodded in agreement and sat down at a table together.
The three of them ordered something to eat, and they heard the stall owner and his wife sitting opposite each other with sad faces.
"What about Lao Zhang?"
"It's really not good, we can only transfer the stall out, but who will it be transferred to in a while?"
Yan Yueyue listened to it in her ears, and had some ideas in her heart, so she turned her head and asked,
"Big brother and sister, why do you want to turn around when your business is so good?"
The stall owner Lao Zhang was a little helpless, and he stalled his hands,
"I don't want to, my wife is sick, no one takes care of me, no one takes care of my children's studies, and my wife and I can't go back to one enough......"
Yan Yueyue looked around at this small stall, the table was full of five or six people, and those pots and pans were ready-made, isn't this a big happy event on her head? !
"Huh? How much do you want to transfer that big brother and sister? ”
"Well...... 500 pieces is an integer! ”
Ma Xiaodong and Tong Jianhua both gasped at the same time when they listened to it, 500 yuan is not a small amount, Tong Jianhua is a public office, and a person's salary with bonuses is only seventy or eighty, and 500 yuan will not be able to earn him for most of the year.
Yan Yueyue lowered her head and pondered for a long time,
"Big brother, can you give me half a month? I still have 20 yuan at home, book it first? ”
The stall owner Lao Zhang may have seen her sincerity and sincerity, and discussed it with his wife.
"Okay, look at what your little sister said, but we have to go back to our hometown in half a month, if we can't get the money and can't transfer out when the time comes, you have to have someone to vouch for it."
"Guarantee?"
Yan Yueyue's heart was cold, she was in the city without relatives and for no reason, who would give her this guarantee.
Tong Jianhua and Ma Xiaodong opened their mouths in unison and said,
"I vouch!"
"What??"
Yan Yueyue turned her head to look over, both of them nodded sincerely, and Yan Yueyue's heart swelled with warmth, not to mention that people in the eighties were much simpler......
"Well, I'm ......" she paused, it was really hard to ask someone to vouch for herself, after all, this matter was still related to the economy.
Tong Jianhua patted his chest,
"Boss, let me vouch for her, I am a police officer at the Renmin Road Police Station, I have a fixed salary, even if she runs away, I can't run."
The stall proprietor couple nodded,
"Yes, that makes sense!"
Ma Xiaodong was a little anxious, and hurriedly took a few steps forward,
"This big brother, I can also vouch for it, I ......"
"Brother Dongzi, I can't ask you to vouch for me, your family is so burdened, I can't be so selfish!" Yan Yueyue pulled Ma Xiaodong's sleeve.
Ma Xiaodong's face changed, and he shook Yan Yueyue's hand away with force,
"Yan Yueyue, don't you look down on people, you've only known him for a few days, how long have we known each other, do you know why people vouch for you for no reason?!"
What Ma Xiaodong said also touched Yan Yueyue's heart, Yan Yueyue raised her head and asked worriedly,
"Officer Tong, why do you want to vouch for me, after all, 500 yuan is not a small amount, and we just met."
